It is about breaking the ice, and getting to know each other well.
The preshoot is a major step in our creative process. It is a time where we get to know each other better, and for the couple to have a practice run in front of the camera.
Most of us feel a bit intimidated in front of a camera, and a lot of couples believe that they don’t look good in photos. So if we are to go into the wedding day with that disposition, we would not expect the best of shots. The preshoot is aimed at eliminating such ideas, and to get the couple to a level of confidence where they can just have fun on the wedding day, and not to worry about the resulting shots because they already know that they will look great.
It never fails to amaze us the difference in the level of confidence exhibited by our couples between the first and last shots of the preshoot. If you are to look closely, you can see the couple relaxing and having more fun as you progress through the shots.
Even though the preshoot is not about creating the best of images, we still invest a considerable effort into it, and on many occasions we do end up with some great shots.
